Rules:
Coaches CANNOT argue a point. They can only direct their individual members to speak. They must direct only.
This is a circle debate - the teacher directs the order of speakers. We can start with any group above, then follow in the order they appear above. Thus, if ALLIANCES speaks first, IMPERIALISM follows, then NATIONALISM, and finally MILITARISM.
Each round (four rounds total) will be carried out with a 2 minute intermission between each. During this time the COACH can intervene to direct the next speaker on the team on what they should say and how they should react.
The rounds are as follows:
Argument(s) and Evidence of why your position is the cause of WWI.
Attack on any or all groups as to why their respective positions are not the cause of WWI.
Rebuttal on attacks if any.
Concluding remarks.
Yes, this is just like an essay or an argument. Remember to take notes on what the other teams are saying. This could be helpful when you have an essay exam in the future.
